18 <br /> Page 2 of 3 Carla Julian <br /> I have extensive training in diversity and through my work an the Health Department, I am <br /> aware of issues in our community. I am a registered nurse with an MPH and have experience <br /> as a bedside nurse caring for adults of all ages in critical care, cardiology and oncology. I <br /> believe in the importance of seeking diverse input and am keenly aware that we must seek this <br /> input to be able to make a difference in diverse populations as someone with the privilege of <br /> being born white. <br /> Do you have any personal or business interest(s)that could create a conflict of interest <br /> (either real or perceived) if you are appointed to this board? <br /> Adult Care Home and Nursing Home Community Advisory Committee <br /> Please explain how your background, education and experience is relevant to this board <br /> I have served on the Adult Care Home Advisory Board in the past and have volunteered for <br /> different aging agencies such as A Helping Hand of Orange County. During the COVID19 <br /> pandemic, I was the primary Health Dept contact with ACH's and nursing homes in Orange <br /> County. Tracke outbreaks, coordinated vaccinations, assured assessment of infection control <br /> activities including isolation and quarantine. As Director of Nursing I provided the nurse <br /> assessment of the Adult Day Health Center in Hillsborough. <br /> Please explain your reasons for wanting to serve on this board <br /> I want to advocate for persons living in these facilities by assuring compliance with facility <br /> regulations. I was compliance manager at the Health Department for 15 years and am familiar <br /> with assessing for compliance, documenting non-compliance or issues where education and <br /> improvement are indicated. My main reason is to assure compliance for the residence living in <br /> facilities that need a voice to speak for them. I also believe in training and education of staff as <br /> a way towards compliance vs. only citations for non-compliance. <br /> How would your particpation on this board contribute to the diversity of viewpoints? <br /> I have extensive training in diversity and through my work an the Health Department, I am <br /> aware of issues in our community.

I have been <br /> on the Board of Directors for the local rescue agency Paws4ever(APS of Orange County) since <br /> 2019. 1 have consistently attended meetings and am very active on committees and frequently <br /> volunteer at events. In the past I have also volunteered for the Orange County Animal Shelter <br /> as well as Independent Animal Rescue. Through my participation with Paws4ever I am aware <br /> of many of the issues affecting Animal welfare in Orange County and beyond. <br /> Please explain your reasons for wanting to serve on this board <br /> I love animals, have rescued three dogs myself and want to participate in an organization that <br /> may be able to make a difference in the lives of animals as well as the people they live with. <br /> Animal advocacy is a little harder for me because I am a very sensitive person and react deeply <br /> to stories of neglect and cruelty. If I were chosen for this board, I would work hard to focus on <br /> the good that could be done and the potential impact for animals and owners. <br /> How would your particpation on this board contribute to the diversity of viewpoints? <br />
